Doing Business with the BEP

Small Business Program - Goals

The BEP’s Small Business Program Office supports the Congressional directives stating, “It is the declared policy of the Congress that a fair proportion of the total purchase and contracts for property and services for the government shall be placed with small business concerns.”

Therefore; the BEP strives to ensure that small businesses and socio-economic concerns have the opportunity to compete to the maximum extent practicable in order to have a fair share of the procurement opportunities at the BEP.
